Roufus confirmed the pairing via Instagram on Tuesday. UFC
officials have yet to announce the matchup. UFC Fight Night 120
takes place at Ted Constant Convocation Center in Norfolk, Va., on
Nov. 11. The card will be televised on Fox Sports 1 following early
prelims on UFC Fight Pass.

Pettis, the former lightweight champion, returned to the division
earlier this year following a two-bout stint at 145 pounds.
“Showtime” was able to win for the second time in three outings at
UFC 213, as he captured over unanimous verdict over veteran
performer Jim Miller on
July 8.

Poirier, meanwhile, is coming off an entertaining clash against
Eddie
Alvarez at UFC 211 that ended in a no contest when Alvarez
landed a series of illegal knees in the second round. Prior to
that, “The Diamond” had been victorious in five of his last six
Octagon appearances.
